Garbage City


Manshiyat Naser district, Cairo, Egypt
It is famous for the Garbage City quarter, which is a slum settlement at the far southern end of Manshiyat Naser, at the base of Mokattam hills on the outskirts of Cairo. Being Cairo’s largest concentration of “Zabbaleen” garbage collectors, its economy revolves around the collection and recycling of the city’s garbage.

Although Manshiyat Naser has streets, shops, and apartments as other areas of the city, it lacks infrastructure and often has no running water, sewers, or electricity.
